Re: I had fasted too long

I took 50mg Iodine for 4 months last year, iodoral tabs and then lugols. I also have hypo, but before i started the iodine, i did not have vitiligo, which developed whilst on the iodine.

I have not touched Iodine since, and on hair mineral test, my boron was non existant, where it was alright before, and found out Iodine can purge this from the body. Boron is needed for pigmentation. I took Boron tabs for awhile, but still have white dots, no large patches.

I personally think taking large doses of anything is wrong, as it is bound to unbalance other minerals, causing other problems, in my case Vitiligo.

I have not heard of iodine causing hypo though. Your hair could be falling out due to mineral inbalance due to taking iodine. You say you weren't taking megadoses, but maybe you were still taking to much

Vit E is good for hair, a few years ago i noticed loads of hair in sink everytime i combed, and i have very thick hair, i read about vit e, and after taking that for awhile it stopped the hair loss. Tweet
